(Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.) Basic EPS

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Net income for 2018 = $8,640,000

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding = 3930000

Earnings for common shareholder = Net Income - Preferred dividend = $8,640,000 - 47000*$4 = $8,452,000

Basic EPS = Income for common shareholders / Weighted average common shares outstanding

= $8,452,000 / 3930000 = $2.15 per share
